Judge Nienaber passes away

The Faculty of Law notes with great sadness that Peet Nienaber (BA (Law) LLB (cum laude) Stellenbosch, DPhil Cambridge) recently passed away. Judge Nienaber was appointed to the then Appellate Division in 1990 where he served until 2002. In 2018 Judge Nienaber donated a wonderful collection of books to the Faculty of Law’s library, consisting of biographies of lawyers from across the world that Judge Nienaber collected over many years. Many of the items in the collection are now out of print and rare works, some dating back more than a century. Judge Nienaber will be greatly missed and we extend our condolences to his family and friends with this great loss.
